For unmatched versatility, the specially designed turkey reticle can be illuminated in green or red at various brightness settings. The detachable sunshade eliminates glare from the front lens. See-through, flip-up lens caps give you optical quality in any weather. Integrated Weaver-style mounts. Includes a 3-volt CR-2032 battery. Color/Camo pattern: Black, Realtree APG™.
I threw this on my Mossberg 835 & hat it sighted in to 30 yds in 30 minutes. The extra battery it came with came in handy as I for got to turn off the lumination after sighting it in. Turned a Tom & a bearded hen into jellyheads this spring turkey season.
I bought this Gobble Stopper and mounted it on my Mossberg Tactical Turker Thug. I've only sighted it in on butcher paper with turkey targets so far but the scope worked great. Theres a ring with a dot in the middle. From what I can tell, the ring represents the height of a mature Tom at 30 yards. Since I sighted in at 30 yards I know that out in the woods when a real gobbler fits in that ring, he'll soon be riding in my truck.
I have had this scope for 2 seasons and great success with its use compared to open sights.I love the dual colors and have no issues with it holding up or remaining on point.. Here is the issue with it and if you hunt alot it will get you. After getting up for 3 days straight at 3:30 driving to another state and setting up on a big field gobble with lots of hens he finally flew down and walked up to me before entering a large field. I lifted my scope and could not see the bird at 25 yards. He was lost. In LOW LIGHT you can not get the brightness low enough to see. Had it happen again another day. You can see through the scope without the ring/dot but it leaves you to big chance. Try to shoot without the dot to see how you do. Right! Also had an issue with it fogging up in the rain and could not clean it without taking the cover off. Carefully consider before purchase.
I just purchased my second gobble stopper. It's not perfect, but neither are the most expensive red dots for my applications. My first "Stopper" is on my inline muzzleloader 12 ga., which works great for turkey hunts. One day my buddies were shooting some clays and none of them had ever shot a muzzleloader. I must\u2019ve passed my shotgun with the Gobble Stopper around a dozen times and ALL clays thrown were broken--and some of the guys weren't really shotgunners. Personally I think it's like cheating, compared to pointing a rib and bead! Sure--it''ll work for turkeys!
My second "Stopper" is for any :non-winged "turkeys" who might attack my home. I'm mounting it on a Saiga-12 shotgun with the low profile side mount. It's tough to find a large field of view red dot optic that doesn't mount too high on the Saiga or AK. Finding one with a large circular reticle is even more difficult. In a defensive situation, a defender's mount may not be perfect. A large FOV and reticle helps dramatically in target acquisition. The 80 MOA circle spans two feed at 30 yards for hunting turkeys, and 16" at 20 yards for centering on an attacker-sized target. The stopper has an optimum reticle and FOV for defensive use inside of 20 yards.
The reason I say it's not perfect is I agree with other reviewers who say it would be nice to have a couple of dimmer setting steps. It also has a battery that needs to be switched on (it won\u2019t last for tens of thousands of hours) and there are probably more reports of failures than I've read for the premium price class red dots, but at least the Stopper has an "Limited Lifetime Guarantee."
